March Book Events

Thursday, March 3rd @ 7:15pm

In Gravely Concerned: Southern Writers’ Graves, John S. Bayne highlights the final resting places of more than 150 southern writers. Even though many graves were difficult to find, the author patiently sought them out. The book includes photos and brief biographical sketches.

There will be southern style hors d’oeuvres and beer and wine. You can buy books and get them signed, mingle with the authors, and bid at silent auction items. There will be a live, 45 minute mystery theater performance of ‘Murder Medium Rare’.

A limited number of tickets are on sale in advance for $65 or $75 at the door.
